POPSBBS? Sysop? Pyroto What? TSOTL? 300-baud?
My gosh -- I got sidetracked and ended up spelunking through on-line archives of Usenet posts, finding a few of my own from back in the day. From there I followed my curiosity and looked up some BBS names from my virgin telecommunications days back in '86. That was 'way back in the last century, you know. I found sites listing "historical" BBS names and dial-up numbers, for the sake of reminiscence. It's been that long! Even considering computer years are shorter (longer?) than dog years, it's frightening to think of 20 years ago as a quaint historical period. Anyone graying like me, who participated early-on in the BBS form of interconnection? This site is similar to that high-school reunion job that has banner ads everywhere, but not nearly as commercial. It reunites old BBS chums with BBS-specific forums. I have to say that communicating with many of the same people from 1986 until the effective demise of BBSs around 1996 I made some good on-line and IRL friends.
